NeXtMidas Shell: Run HELP/GUI
GCONTROL / GDialog
-- Signature changed to
support more flexible button names and control.
(See HELP gcontrol
)QUERY
-- Command signature has changed.
(see New Features)SEDIT
-- (see New
Features)GCONTROL Button
-- When a button group is
not given a default item to be displayed as selected, this previously
resulted in state never being displayed (selected button displayed as
pressed). Now, regardless of whether or not a default item is indicated,
the behavior of the buttons is that they will show state. If this is not
the desired behavior, you must now use the /NOSTATE
switch,
or indicate NOSTATE
in the FLAGS
switch.
(see New Features)Constants
-- The values for the following
constants have been revised to match those published in the third
edition of WGS 84
(NIMA TR8350.2):
EARTH_ECCENTRICITY -- Added precision.(For more information run
EARTH_GRAV_CONSTANT_W_ATMOS -- Revised.
EARTH_GRAV_CONSTANT_W_ATMOS_ORIG -- NEW (old EARTH_GRAV_CONSTANT_W_ATMOS).
EARTH_GRAV_CONSTANT_WO_ATMOS -- Revised.
EARTH_GRAV_CONSTANT_WO_ATMOS_ORIG -- NEW (old EARTH_GRAV_CONSTANT_WO_ATMOS).
